New Guy With A Permit. Need Advice On Companies!
Topic 29531 | Page 3
Excellent! Which location....warm or cold?
No lease!!!
I’m a total newbie, so take what I say with a grain of salt. My advice would be, in addition to what type of freight you want to haul, be sure to consider things like hometime policies, lease options, duration of training, benefits, company culture, etc.
I just got my CDL permit two days ago thanks to the training materials located on this website. I'm currently applying to companies that will train me for my CDL. I'm leaning heavily towards Millis or Roehl with Prime as a backup. Does anyone here have experience with these companies? I would love to here about your time working for them and going through there schools. If anyone has any other companies I should be looking at feel free to chime in. I'm located in Chattanooga, TN.
TLD TLD dude go TLD. They are awesome!!!! Very home friendly, pet friendly, passenger friendly, and have different loads and they train you on a 10 speed.
